Armenian, Azeri Foreign Ministers' next meeting slated for early 2020

The Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers' next meeting will happen in early 2020, the two agreed at a meeting in Bratislava on Wednesday, December 4.

The meeting of Armenia's Zohrab Mnatskanyan and Azerbaijan's Elmar Mammadyarov was held under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Igor Popov (Russia), Stefan Visconti (France) and Andrew Schofer(U.S.), as well as the Personal Representative of OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Andrzej Kasprzyk.

The sides met in the Slovakian capital to discuss the ceasefire, confidence-building measures, as well as plans to continue working together early next year.

The Armenian foreign policy chief cited the mutual visits of Armenian, Artsakh and Azerbaijani journalists as a "modest result" in the process of preparing peoples for peace.

Also, Mnatsakanyan once again stressed the importance of involving the authorities of Artsakh in the negotiation process.
